I got the letter in the mail today. :)

It says,,,

Dear participant:

On july 12, you participated in a free blood screen for Celiac Disease. We appreciate your blood screen was found POSITIVE for antibody detected in patients with Celiac Disease.


Your current result suggest that you may have Celiac Disease. Unfortunately, positive serology is NOT enough to detect the disease but has a very high predictive value.We urge you to go to your physician and ask him to refer you to a gastroenterology specialist in order to confirm the presence of celiac disease by upper endoscopy procedure. In this procedure, small intestinal biopsies will be taken and would confirm or refute your diagnosis. Positive histology (biopsy) is the gold standard to diagnose this disease, Once confirmed,gluten free diet for LIFE is the only way to prevent cojmplication of the disease that may include intestinal cancer.

It's survivable, (check the Internet) but the best advice that any MD'er can give you is, 'go see a Medical Doctor'.
Let us know how you get on.
Cheers, Mike
